\n\tCoachella\u2019s already extensive<\/a> dance offerings are expanding with this week\u2019s announcement of a new festival stage dedicated to the genre. <\/p>\n \n\tCalled Quasar, the stage will feature extended sets that run three to four hours, with Coachella producer Goldenvoice announcing different lineups for both weekends of the fest. Weekend one will feature Honey Dijon playing b2b with Green Velvet, the first U.S. show from Michael Bibi since he announced he was in remission<\/a> from cancer, and Jamie xx playing b3b with Floating Points and Daphni. All of these artists are new additions to the lineup. <\/p>\n \n\tFor weekend two, Quasar will feature a DJ set by R\u00fcf\u00fcs du Sol, Eric Prydz playing b2b with Anyma and Diplo playing b2b with Dutch wunkderkind Mau P. Minus Anyma (also known as Matteo Milleri, who is one half of Tale of Us), all of these artists are also new to the 2024 lineup. <\/p>\n \n\tThere\u2019s also evidence that more artists will join the bill. On the lineup announcement on Instagram<\/a>, Los Angeles-based DJ Heidi Lawden commented \u201cone female yay!\u201d in regard to the lineup being almost entirely men. In response, Kobi Danan \u2014 whose company Framework curates Coachella\u2019s Yuma stage \u2013 \u2013 wrote \u201cnot done yet!\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tA rendering of the stage reveals it to be a massive area with a futuristic design. A video<\/a> shared to Instagram by Coachella outlines specs for the stage, which Goldenvoice\u2019s Executive Vice President Jenn Yacoubian calls \u201ca stage where we can book talent on it in a way that we\u2019ve felt we haven\u2019t been able to in the past. We\u2019re look at it as a traditional kind of DJ stage. The thinking was that we wanted people to see a longer format DJ set.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tDesigned by Vita Modus, a longtime Coachella stage designer, Quasar will be assembled from two massive LED walls with the artists in the middle. <\/p>\n
